swingchickiegood stuff from yesterday:
* my brother came over yesterday to look at the hot mess that is my backyard. i have a back garden that is completely overgrown with weeds, a patch of dirt along my house that i tried to seed with grass but is already a solid mass of weeds (sensing a theme here?), and a giant hole nearby that the previous owners tried to fill with broken tiles and dirt. he looked at everything, took a list of plants i love, and 30 minutes later had sketched up stunningly cool landscaping plans for all of it. (i love having a landscape designer as a brother.) i can't wait to get someone in to do the work... this is going to be such a transformation.
* last night some of us went to see a performance of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ms_violet's play "traveling light" at the shubin theater. i am beyond proud. to see actors standing in a real theater, saying words that one of my good friends had written, was beyond cool. and it's a really good play, too! eeeEEEeee!
bad stuff from yesterday:
* i spent most of the night up with a sore throat... one of those agonizing fiery sore throats that can't be quenched no matter what you do. by 1am i was in tears. it's calmer now, it's more scratchy than sore... but those 8 or 9 hours of ouch completely sucked.
* i found out yesterday (thank you, consumerist.com) that royal caribbean has been paying people to go on the cruise critic boards and post positive stuff about them to get more business. hrm. but the thing that makes me really angry is that when i posted a thread about it on cruise critic, CC pulled the thread. no surprise i guess, considering royal caribbean gives them advertising dollars. grrrrrrr.
